Jacket 451-829: Form 1041-ES (OCR) (2026) Payment Vouchers Jacket 451-830: Form 1040-ES/V (OCR) (2026) Payment Vouchers
Solicitation # 451829S
The United States Government Publishing Office, on behalf of the IRS, is soliciting bids for the production, assembly, and mailing of two tax payment voucher packages: Jacket 451-829 (Form 1041-ES OCR) and Jacket 451-830 (Form 1040-ES/V OCR). The scope of work involves electronic prepress, printing, variable imaging, binding, and mailing of approximately 800,000 packages for Jacket 451-829 and 750,000 packages for Jacket 451-830. Each package includes tax payment vouchers, instruction booklets, and return envelopes. The contractor is responsible for ensuring all materials meet Government Paper Specification Standards No. 13 and comply with all U.S. Postal Service regulations, including the use of Intelligent Mail Barcodes and adherence to Domestic Mail Manual packaging and palletization requirements. Award will be granted to the bidder offering the lowest total cost for both jackets combined. A critical requirement for eligibility is that bidders must possess an IRS pre-approved security clearance at the production facility; failure to meet this requirement by the bid opening date will result in a non-responsible determination. The contract mandates strict data protection for Sensitive But Unclassified information, requiring personnel to undergo mandatory security and privacy training and sign non-disclosure agreements. Performance involves a strict timeline, with mailing starting as early as February 12, 2026, and completing no later than March 5, 2026. Quality assurance is governed by GPO Publication 310.1, requiring a 99 percent accuracy rate for test samples.
